A FLORIDA AWAKENING, by LYNN RUSSELL First Line: The pale-green candles on the pines Last Line: The heavens fain would hold! | |||
The pale-green candles on the pines Look upward at the sky As if to fathom the designs Of powers from on high. The honeysuckle vines swing out To catch the perfumed breeze And wind their tendrils all about The chinaberry trees. And everywhere I wander down The highways, streets and lanes I see the flutter of a gown Along the widespread plains -- Once more I know that Spring is here, Her dress of green and gold For all the earth portrays the cheer The heavens fain would hold! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MENTAL TRAVELLER by WILLIAM BLAKE LORD WALTER'S WIFE by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING INCIDENT OF THE FRENCH CAMP by ROBERT BROWNING THE COMING AMERICAN by SAM WALTER FOSS BETWEEN THE LINES by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON A THOUGHT IN TWO MOODS by THOMAS HARDY AT CASTLE BOTEREL by THOMAS HARDY |
